My dear friend: You are a guest in our home and it is our desire to extend you every personal courtesy that will lend to your comfort and enjoyment. So, please do not think of the Nankin as “just a restaurant”, but as a sort of a “cafe club” to which you belong. Your personal cafe. Here you are surrounded with congenial environment, tasteful simplicity, pleasing appointments. Your “cafe club”, conducted for cultured folk who appreciate wholesome atmosphere as well as tasty foods. Throughout our ten years of operation, we have tried our best to conform to these high standards. Serving only the choicest of Chinese and American dishes, we have established somewhat of a fame for ourselves, not only in Minneapolis and the great Northwest, but also among visiting guests from all corners of the United States. We appreciate your presence here and sincerely trust that you will wish to come again. Cordially yours,
W. C. JAMES, PRES. ATLANTIC 3303
Among our cafe patrons, and beloved guests it is perhaps not generally known that we operate also the “Kim Wah Company”, wholesale importers of Oriental art goods and novelties branches in Peking Shanghai, TienTsin, Canton. Especially, do we feature the beautiful Chinese hand-embroidered handkerchiefs, which for quality of linens and exquisite, intricate needlework, cannot seem to be approached by the nationals of any other country. Guests of the Nankin and their friends and especially out-of-town merchants are cordially Welcome to visit our display on the front balcony and to make such selections as you may wish. We believe you will find the display most interesting.
